Drumcliffe GPS Location: 54.325334, -8.493741 You are now in the village of Drumcliffe, firmly put on the map when W.B. Yeats was interred here some nine years after his death in France in January 1939. After a long and somber route back from Roquebrune where it lay in state both there and in Sligo Town, he was laid to rest as per his instructions in "Under Ben Bulben". In an ironic twist, the Government was represented by its Minister for External Affairs, Mr. Sean McBride, son of Maud Gonne.Hear more about the return from RTÉ Radio's John Bowman Sunday archive show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaNplPvSbx4
